CYCLISTS get ROASTED 🔥 by a Bike Shop A$$h0le!

glad the description cleared up things. I was having a WTF? moment for a minute there. :D

"Dont know why you would ruin a perfectly good bike ride by going to work in the middle of it." Dude, that was amazing.

You forgot the "internet cyclist". They have a bike but they spend more time talking about it on the internet than actually riding it.

I'm a 60+ year old and have been a life long road cyclist. Road cyclists have the worst attitudes in cycling. Instead of seeing the common connection and potential in feeling connected to a community of fellow cyclists they emit a air of superiority that it's laughable. I also ride motorcycles and the camaraderie is so different. Whether you're riding a crotch rocket or harley or dirtbike. If you wave at them they will wave back, That never happens between road cyclists.

I just ride around but sometimes ruin my rides by going to school and work in the middle of my rides.

I’m a retrogrouch roadie and also a bike mechanic. I am a cyclist first and a mechanic second. Love your videos and content.

I must admit to wearing those weird black tight shorts for 6 years as a roadie. I was into cycling anywhere from 35 to 105 miles just because I actually enjoyed the self inflicted pain. It’s kinda like taping your arms and legs together and rolling down a rocky hillside just to see the end result when you reached the bottom. Now at age 70 I’ll wear regular pocket shorts over those weird black tight shorts, hop on my mountain bike, peddle on the paved trails and prepare myself for a 50 miler this summer. I’m pretty excited about my new goal. It’s kinda like taping my arms and legs together and rolling down a rocky hillside just to see the end result when I reached bottom. When it comes to cycling, any kind of cycling, it’s all about self inflicted pain. But hey ………. it’s the best I can come up with to lose that unwanted 25lbs I’ve gained from quitting road cycling with those weird roadies.

I'm a new subscriber and have decided I love these quips: "Allow me to alienate a very profitable customer base for a fleeting 15 minutes of fame." ... "Welcome to nowhere land because there's no good reason to be here." .... "suckers (are) waiting all summer long for the weather to finally suck to ruin a perfectly good county park doing laps on short courses tapped off with manufactured obstacles ... while doing laps on muddy inclines ... while revelers dressed as hotdogs throw beer on each other." I think the best one was this: "Probably vegan, these urbanites look for opportunities to stop traffic as a pedestrian and take the lane like a bread truck as they pull out of the coop parking lot using their home schooled kiddos as human shields on a cargo bike loaded down with gluten-free chia seeds." Great job and keep it up.

I ride around on my frakenbikes through my neighborhoods dressed like a hobo 😂 and having a great time

I might not fit with all cyclist but I love anyone who rides a bike for whatever reason.

Hey!!! You forgot the beer belly’d E-BIKE guys dressed up like Lance Armstrong 😂

Oh my goodness! Thank you. As a somewhat curmudgeonly, adventure loving cyclist, bike mechanic, former shop owner and current shop manager, this was a joy to watch. Bless you.

You left out us "Simpletons". One gear, fixed or free. Coaster rear brake, rim caliper front brake (preferably center-pull). All built on a 20 to 30 year old steel rigid frame. Hills no problem with proper gear ratio. When I rode motorcycles it was similar; one cylinder, one carb, one exhaust pipe, drum brakes, points ignition. Give me the simple life.

I appreciate that you acknowledge you are a cyclist. With that Waterford with the sweet Rene Herse brakes. But I even more appreciate that you are a mechanic first.

I been an avid cyclists for more than 26 years. I try mtb,cx,track,down hill,bmx and triathlon and this guy is 1,000% right. I approved his message 🤙

Trek really proved their ethos in the Armstrong/LeMond battle.

This was lots of fun. As a mechanic, an old touring cyclist, and an occasional gravel rider, and probably a curmudgeon, when you mention press fit bottom brackets, electronic shifting, and internal cable routing, I wanted to cheer. New innovations are great, bicycles shift better than ever, modern brakes will stop you on a downhill in the rain, and saddle technology is a wonder (remember breaking in a Brooks?), but some things are just crap, difficult to work on, impossible to set up so they won't fail, or overly complex.

I’ve owned and ridden bikes since late 50’s (Ok, parents owned the first two, I earned enough for 1/2 of my third and after that they were all mine. Road bikes, touring bikes, triple cranks, recumbent, electric, hybrid and now a Trek Dual Sport with one crank. It’s light and perfect for my style which is to ride when I’m darn ready to ride. Sometimes group rides with fellow seniors and sometimes with the wife. But most for just me. You my friend are living my retirement dream which in my case never materialized. But it never fails that your videos always inspire me to get off my easy chair and mount the steed and go out and ride. Maybe around the park, the neighborhood or to the store. Ride the road, the trail or whatever. Just a regular guy who rides for the heck of it. Thanks Farmer, you rock! Keep the videos cranking!

Thank you for making me think " why did I ever stop riding?" Back in the '80s a guy had asked me what I thought the coolest bike was at the time. And I said "the one that gets ridden." I told him that there were all these ridiculous new bikes with all kinds of whiz-bang gears and stuff but I had a friend who used to ride bicycles after church in central Massachusetts in the 1920s. They were wearing suits, and the women were wearing dresses. And they were going up and down the Rolling Hills in Massachusetts on giant steel monsters with one gear and having a blast. Now everybody's wearing spandex with 18 plus speeds and trying to figure out how to make their bikes lighter. What a great thing bicycling is. And I have to say I miss the banana seat and the sissy bar. That was bicycling.

Spewed my morning coffee all over my phone while watching this 😂
